ABSTRACT: This document replaces TA-NWT-001111.

This document provides the view of Telcordia on generic requirements for supporting Switched Virtual Connection (SVC) capabilities at a Broadband user-network interface. The generic requirements allow a Broadband Switching System (BSS) to offer various types of SVC services to Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) users.

These services include cell relay point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint switched virtual channel connections. The generic requirements cover the switch functions, messages, procedures, and parameters that, in the view of Telcordia are necessary to support SVC capabilities at the user-network interface of a BSS. Thus, not only are signaling aspects covered, but other switch requirements needed in conjunction with signaling are detailed.

This GR also includes one or more Issue List Reports (ILRs) that details open or closed technical issues in the main document. The ILR(s) are automatically sent free of charge to the GR document purchaser.
